Looking for a new way to Drag

Out in Michigan we call it Dragging, when doing pavers. What i have been doing is setting up lines for the pavers and then using a board set at paver height, i would level it using lines. I'm looking for a faster way to do this process. Anyone do something different?

I don't wanna sound dumb but i do you get the pole to the height and make sure it is level or has the slope you want? Thanks for all the help.

We use a laser and many string lines. Then, use your longest straight edge (ours is 12') and check from points where you know the elevation is good to other points where you know the elevation is good as well.
